These labor dependent industries focusses mainly to retain their employees by the means of motivation. Employees’ motivation levels are considered to have a direct impact on their productivity (Veliu, Manxhari, & Ujkani, 2015).

Therefore the present study seeks to identify the relation between employee’s motivation and their overall work performance in selected SMEs of Karachi. Using regression analysis, the present study encountered that there exists a relation between employees’ motivation and the overall work performance at their organization but fails to establish the positive relation between them. Lastly the study presents few implications and limitations of this research.
